Music Doctors - CLINIC - Chat To ilikemusic.com
:: Interview date February 2002::
John Peel himself has named Clinic as "One of the best bands we have have in this country," and that's no surprise. CLINIC sound like no other band. As individual as Suicide or The Monks, as self sufficient as The Residents, they describe a twilit place, the streets surrounding John Carpenter's Precinct 13, the disco on the inhabited side of the moon. It's a sinisterly sexy locale, with a dark sense of humour, and it's fully explored on their brilliant second album, Walking With Thee, released March 4 2002.
ilikemusic.com caught up with lead singer, Ade Blackburn to discuss their current UK tour, latest album and future plans.
"This is the first proper tour we've done since the last LP we released," explains Ade. "So it's the first one for about 18 months. If you haven't done it for a while it seems much fresher."
"I like music because... it takes you out of every day reality."
Ade Blackburn, Clinic
Clinic are famous for decking themselves out in surgeons masks and uniforms, in a similar vein to Slipknot, although less scary and more surreal.

Taio Cruz: ilikemusic because... It’s my life and it’s the air that I breathe. It calms me when I’m feeling uptight and it’s there for me when I want to party if I want to listen to something up tempo, it’s just amazing in any situation. That’s why I like music!
Master Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
Steve, Hard-Fi: ilikemusic because... Life is not worth living without it. Everything else could disappear, but music is the one thing that always remains with me throughout my entire life.
